    The Basketball Tournament 2022

    TBT was home to Mel Levett's Bearcat Jam teams for a few yeas before COVID. I'm not sure if this team is continuing or whether Mel needs to focus on other stuff at this point.

    Well, we now have Kevin Johson's Nasty Nati team which looks like it's going to be mostly Cronin era players. No final roster has been announced but the wish list has lots of Cronin's overseas guys.

    More to come I'm sure.

    TBT has a social fan angle to it, meaning if they don't get fan support over social media, they don't qualify for the tournament. This is what caused the downfall of Bearcat Jam the last go around if I'm not mistaken

    If anyone isn't a Dakich fan, worth checking out yesterday's column from Gregg Doyel https://finance.yahoo.com/news/dan-d...122538263.html
    Dakich isn't my cup of tea for broadcasting, but Doyel is just a hack and I don't believe much of what he writes, in general.

    I pass this off as a "pot calling the kettle black" situation.

    One can easily search on this site for "Doyel" or "Doyle" and find instances where Doyel's "credibility" is questioned.

    That's some scorched earth right there and I thought it was hot in Texas.

    Also...wondering if Cane Broome has quietly joined the UC staff as a grad assistant or some paid lower position like what JaQuon Parker did several years ago. Cane was on the TBT team in a coaching capacity, but he just played in the alumni game so would appear he's healthy and would have been able to play in the TBT - so must have been some reason keeping him out of TBT competition.

    Death. Taxes. Losing at Cintas Center.

    Was fun watching some of the third and fourth (outside of seeing Evans drain a 3/4-court shot, he missed about 5 threes while I was watching...was fun seeing Cumberland since we didn't get the closure to his senior year with the COVID-canceled postseason).

    Reminded me of a Cronin team. Struggled to hit open shots. It was fun to see some of the guys play though. Caupain could not hit anything.

    Projected starters for game 1: Caupain, Evans, Cumberland, Ellis and Marquez Letcher-Ellis (looks like he played two years at Rice)

    Winner gets the #1 seed, who won by 57 today

    Nasty Nati has added two guys from the Houston area in Marquez Letcher-Ellis(Rice), Ty Jordan (Malone College) . They also signed G league player Isaiah Miller, formerly of UNCG to the roster.
